How to find your title on Google TV

To check the title live status on Google TV, you will need a smart TV with built-in GTV and/or a Google ChromeCast and be located in the specific territory.

 

 

Searching for content on Google TV can only be done via title search:

1. Use the search icon on GTV store or the Google Assistant (voice command)
2. If successful, the title’s offer page should show directly showing the Buy or Rent options

 

If the title search is not working, try searching with a combination of words that could narrow down the results (title+release year, title+”movie”, title+studio, etc.). 

You can also try searching by the director’s or actor’s name to navigate through their filmography and find the specific title. 

 

If you are having issues finding your TVOD title, please reach out to [e-mail]
